The center frequencies are set at the fundamental, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th harmonic frequency. The center frequencies are controlled by a single master clock. The fifth harmonic output is at 3.4-MHz when clocked at 42.5-MHz.

The MSTHDA can be applied in a range of multi-standard RFID (RF identification) systems based on FDMA (frequency-division multiple access) as a building-block component for a reader sub-system.
